For new authors today seems to be impossible to attract attention to their work. The name of the author outweighs in importance the actual work he/she has written. The publisher seeks an established author, whose name would guarantee financial success. So, if you are an aspiring author without any previous publication, you would find yourself attacked with rejection letters, apologizing voices, and heartbreaking "NO!!!"s. This contest was created to cherish great pieces of literature, not to admire famous names. It doesn't matter who knows you or who doesn't-if your work stands out, unleashes an aspiring message to the reader, and presents an unique and interesting way of thought and breathtaking imagination you will be recognized as an artist and receive the cash prize you deserve. Art is ushered from the soul, but to pursue this joyous endeveour without starving to death you must be reembersed with cash for your work. We know this is a fact, so we have created this opportunity for you. We admire the art of poetry and we must treat it with the respect it deserves.
